Schaller Roller Bridge

About This Item

A direct replacement for most Tune-o-matic style bridges!
Schaller's unique variation of the Tune-o-matic bridge features low-friction roller saddles for smoother tuning and tremolo action.

These intonation-adjustable brass saddles allow adjustable string spread, and are angled slightly for correct alignment with the offset mounting studs and threaded bushings. The bridge can be used with standard Gibson® guitar tailpieces.

Adjustablestring spread1-29/32" to 2-1/4"(48.42mm to 57.15mm)

Saddle radius14"(355.60mm)

Post spacing2-29/32"(73.82mm)

Stud threadsM5 x .8 andM8 x 1.25

Two sizes of studs included:
The M5 x .8 studs and bushings allow for an easy retrofit from a Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge, as used on many Gibson guitars. A set of M8 x 1.25 studs is also included for installation on most imported guitars with Tune-o-matic style bridges including Epiphone, Ibanez, BC Rich, and Samick. These will screw right into the existing bushings.

Schaller roller bridge on Epi Wildkat

Bought this bridge to replace the Tune-o-Matic original bridge on a Bigsby equipped Wildkat. This is the bridge Epi should have installed in the first place. Fit was perfect and required NO mods or even mild cussing. Intonation and string spacing were easily set. I had no diffiulties in mating this bridge with a 14" radius to the 12" neck radius. The difference is miniscule. This is a much better guitar for such a small investment in money and time. I'll be trying another one on a 1963 Hagstrom 2 to replace what may be the worst bridge ever made.

Great replacement bridge

I had a Tae Hwa (yeah, I never heard of them either) bridge on my LP copy and one of the saddles rattled. Several recommended a roller bridge and I thought I would give it a try. The posts that came with it screwed in to my existing bushings (bonus!). The only draw back, and it's a minor one, is that if you aren't careful, when restringing the instrument, you can alter the string spacing very easily. Not a huge issue but it does add to the time to restring. I used my straight edge to get everything lined up properly. Getting intoned was a snap.

Best roller bridge yet

I've purchase a few different roller bridges for Gibson Les Pauls, SGs, and Epiphone version of the same. These particular roller bridges are the most solid and easily adjustable yet. I would buy these for almost any Tone Pro style set up.

Looks great, but disapointing...

I got this bridge to replace the worn one on my Schecter C1 Classic guitar. I looks great, but I had several issues. 1) could not get the 'D' string to intonate, ran out of adjustment. 2) Only way to adjust bridge up or down, is to remove it, raise top part from the bottom part.(thumb wheel almost useless. 3) They should have used Phillips head adjusting screws, much safer, no slip. 4) The large supplied posts are very short, compared to the original tone pro posts.OK, to be fair, I have only tried it with the above guitar and 8 gauge strings. the saddles are all way toward the neck end of the guitar. I think putting heavier gauge strings on might intonate more toward the middle of the bridge. I did add lube to the posts before starting, but even with the bridge off the guitar, turning the thumb wheels is difficult. The plating does seem well done. I am getting a slight harmonic that was not there before.( hight strings only, tinny sound)I choose this bridge because of the many great reviews and will update my thoughts after next string change to a heavier gauge string, if that helps. Right now, I think it is over rated and priced, based on the faults I have described. I had thoughts about adding a vibrato, but not if I can not intonate. Note: used D'Addario 8-39 half rounds. At this time NO, I would not recommend this bridge.

This blows the original bridge away!

The tune-o-matic is famous, but seriously, it binds more and has no side-to-side adjustment. This bridge is a little tougher to intonate because of the fact the rollers turn a little too easy. I used lock-tite and simply don't care, its not that difficult.

Compare to other roller bridges that need screws turned in awkward ways and then you do feel pain.. They are very difficult to intonate. I got better playability (easier to bend strings) and better placement... the high-E was slightly too close to the edge for me. Enough that I found bending the high-E very hard. Now I don't. Love my choice, won't go back. I used this on a Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro and the changes are stunningly better.

Schaller Roller Bridge

I will never build another guitar without one of the beauties. Aside from the easily adjustable intonation, the Schaller Roller Bridge also allows string spread adjustment. User's of Bigsby and similar type tremolo systems will also benefit from the rollers as they allow the strings to move freely without binding and dragging across the saddles. As far as looks go, it has a very contemporary, refreshing look. It also works great with string -through- body installations. Colors: Chrome and Gold. I would like to see a Black versions as well. A+ all the way!

One of the Best

This bridge is ideal for any guitar that has a Bigsby tremolo. I have this bridge on four of my guitars and it works great. My instruments stay in tune better and the strings last longer because the strings don't scrape the bridge where they usually break. Also, the rollers can be adjusted left or right to get your string positioning exactly where you want it and the quality is high and they look better than other roller bridges I have seen.
